It must feel pretty damn good to be scoring a brace on Christmas weekend…. just ask Cescy! Elsewhere, Rafael Curly Fries Da Silva managed to earn himself yet another yellow card against Hull City (oi cara, parar de sonhar com vacas ok…) In contrast, the dude needs to stop thinking of that brand new webcam waiting beneath his Christmas tree.

Speaking of Cescy, we found a rather epic photo of the Spaniard trying to convince you that his eyes are indeed magical. So go on now – have a look (and that also applies to you, hombres! Don’t get all shy…)

Following up on our previous adventure with the Foreignchester United squad, here’s a little bit on our Liverpool experience which took place a few days later… as promised. Lo siento para la retraso.

Firstly, we met our friend Lucas Leiva (who loved our newspaper article on him and sent us a text message about it!) He was painfully shy throughout the entire trip. Xabi Alonso was also pretty moody when we saw him and looked at us weirdly when we were exchanging hand signals with Lucas on the bus. Also, Rafa Benitez is the coolest entrenador we’ve encountered so far. Whenever we shrieked “Rafa, que huboooo?!!“, he’d wink, give us a thumbs up and reply.

The highlight for us was obviously speaking to Stable Boy Fernando Torres at a Carlsberg event. We were separated by a coffee table and had to kneel near the microphones to avoid hitting the TV cameras but we were face to face with hombre! Nando answered our questions in Spanish and even asked if we wanted a reply in English. And yes, he also spoke about Olala and Nora and said they were both very well and resting at home. Nando was polite and pretty normal, if you ask us! He laughed at everything around him and seemed really amused by all the attention. 

Also, Pepe Reina is as loco IRL as he is with la seleccion. He’s really funny and someone needs to show him more love! Enjoy the photos. More under the cut.
